Re: Chelyabinsk

[AndrewsJP@AOL.COM]

I wish I knew more, but there was at least one book written on this subject.  

I had a copy but it was borrowed permanently in about 1975.  The author wrote 

in the USA based on his knowledge of this secret event while he was a 

professor in the USSR.  He noted that there were a number of papers given by 

Russians about the effects of contamination on migrating animals and birds.  

These were highly censored to eliminate any reference to the source of the 

contamination and the contamination was noted as being not accidental 

contamination but study parcels.  However the study parcels contained curies 

per square meter, not micro-curies as one would expect and the activity was 

the fission products known to have come from the event in Chelyabinsk such as 

Sr-90 and Cs-137.  At any rate there is information out there, but it will be 

somewhat difficult to find because it will not reflect the Chelyabinsk name.  

I do not remember the title or the authors name.  Sorry for that.
